In the last seven months the reported accidents from tbe explosions of kerosene, in New York city, hare amounted to filty-five in number. Involving twenty-three deaths, eighteen serious injuries, twelve slight injuries, and a pecuniary loss in the aggregate of f 48,-485. A complete list, it is estimated, would add one-third to tbe numbers given above. The appointment of an Inspector of Kero sene Oil, it is contended, is absolutely nec essary, as well as the prohibition of the sale of dangerous burning fluids. Journalism. Samuel L. Clements, popularly known as "Mark Twain," has become editor of the Buffalo Express, and in bis salutatory address that humorous writer says: "I am simply going to do my plain, unpretending duty, when I cannot get out ot It. I shall work diligently and honestly and faithfully at all times and upon all occasions, when privation and want sball compel me to do it. I shall not make use of slang or vulgarity upon any occasion or under any circumstances, and shall ntver use profanity except la discussing he use re it and taxes. Indeed, upon second thought, I will not even use It then, for it Is unchristian, inelegant and degrading though to speak truly, I do ooC see bow house rent and taxes are going to be discussed worth a cent without it."

We have noted them of late, and And that they do not use the vehicles (be right wy. The one or two forward wheels, as the case may be, are intended to ease tbe carriage over a curb stone, and a very few of them know this. The others keep them raised, and when the rear wheels go oil the walk, they go down with a thump that very nearly throws tbe child out. We hope they will be instructed In this matter, for it is not only a pity, but a shame, to see children thumped about in such a manner. The Forest City Clcb and the Press Nine. The playing on Saturday ot the Forest City nine and the Press nine cannot be called a game; it was simply a mer ciless "slaughter ot innocents.1 The for mer, desiring to practice batting. Inveigled the newspaper men into cbastng the ball lor them during the greater part of the afternoon. The score 74. to 9 although blue looking, is one ot which the Press nine feel proud, being elated with the idea of having been able to send their opponents tothelieldso many times, even though it was but tor a little while each time; and they congratulate themselves, too, that they were able to-make as many as nine tallies, for they bad never belore faced so swift pitching. - We clip the above from the Leader of Monday. These are the same boys the Press nines who were Jfooa-ey enough to challenge the newspaper boys of Col urn-bug. Come on, Press nine ! We await ye. Examining Court. In pursuance of a notice served upon the Probate Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Clerk of Com mon Pleas Court, Alexander Thomas and Charles E. Harrison were brought before Judge Pugh yesterday at 2 o'clock P. M. These men were arrested on the 13th of last " month and brought before Mayor Meeker on a charge ot burglariously en tering the jewelry store of Gates & Har rington. Both of them waived an examination belore the Mayor, and were com mitted in default of bail. Several witnesses were examined, and every element tf the crime established except the ''breaking." The defendants1 at torney claimed that the transom was raised by Messrs. Gates & Harrington, and left raised, on the night of tbe alleged burglary. The State claims that defendants rt moved the stick which supported the transom, from the center to tbe edge; that with the stick in tbe center no one could enter, and that the removal of the stick was such a "breaking" or removal ol an obstruction as comes within the statute. The technical defense raised involves a nice point, and will be argued to day at 2 o'clock P. M. Thaksfers to Hockisq Valley Railroad Company.

Terrible Accident A Man Falls rROM the Roof of a Bcildcno Yesterday morning, while Mr. Jamen R. St. Clair was engaged in tlate-rooflng the large establishment of Messrs. Mlthoff. Dann & Co., near the .northwest wall of tbe Penitentiary, tbe derrick erected on tbe edge ot the roof, and upon which he was working, suddenly broke from its fastenings and tumbled to the ground, a distance ot forty-two feet, carrying Mr. St. Clair with It. The unfortunate man sus- i tained tearful injuries, consisting of a bid fracture of the left thigh bone near its articulation with the hip bones, and a se vere compound fracture of both bones of the left fore-arm, bosidea other severe bruises and contusions. Doctors Gay and Porter were at once summoned, who caused Mr. St. Clair to be carefully re' moved to bis residence, where his severe injuries were properly adjusted. HU injuries are of a paiutul and grave charac ter, but If is hoped that by the best care and attention be will fully recover. It appears that the derrick had been placed lu posl.loa on the edge of the roof and used for hoisting bundles of slate by hand. A small platform had been arranged from near tbe base of the derrick to tbe rise of the roof, and on this platform Mr. St- Clair was standing when the entire structure fell. It was determined yesterday morning to use horse-power In hoisting the bandies of slate, but unfortunately the matter of adding stronger braces to the derrick was overlooked. The first trial with the horse resulted as above given. Mr. St. Clair is a single man.about twenty- six years of age, and the son ot Mr. J. E. St. Clair, one ot our best citizens. THE C0UN1 Y , FUR GROUND:?. THEIR SPLENDID CONDITIO!. Notice of Marked Improvements. The "Tx-efcclaS-, 4so., cfao. We visited the County Fair Grounds yes- i terday morning, and were most agreeably ! disappointed to find them in splendid eon- ' dition in all respects, and so engaging in appearance as to warrant the belief that ' the coming Fair of the Agricultural So ciety will be tbe moat successful ol any yet arranged for the people. Improvements have been so general and complete that difficulty is experienced In reference to where a descriptive account should be gin. Entering tbe grounds from the Mont- gouiery street approach, we were fortu- j Date enough to jneet Mar8. Alexander and Lytle, who took u la charge and ' showed us ' THE BOSSES. A large number of these fine animals, whose glossy coats, sparkling eyes and clean limbs give evidence ot the best care . and attention, are already in the new ranges of fine 6tables ia tbe southwest , corner of tbe grounds, and are being daily exercised on the track, preparatory, to grand publio exhibitions during the Fair. Blooded stock of mark, owned by citizens of our own city and county, and those ot j adjoining counties, are there, and others 1 coming in daily. Tbe exhibition ot fine horses at the Fair will be the largest and best evei entered before. the track. The acknowledged best half-mile track ia the Uuioa, is ia superb condition, and challenges the admiration of all enthusiastic turfmen. We saw a number of our citizens, Messrs. Falling, B. Gwynne, Lamb, C. Neil and others among them, speeding their line animals on the track, and attract-ing a great deal of attention from the many casual visitors in attendance. We greatly misjudge the prominent points ot several noble animals, already in the stables, under care of Messrs. Alexander and Lytle, if they do not give a good account of themselves on the track at the Fair. THE SUFERINTENDZENT'S HOUSE, Built near the grand west entrance to the grounds, is a model of architectural beauty and comfort, suggesting, in the beauty of itsgotbic points and artistically arranged rooms and surroundings, a determination Lon the part ot the Board of Officers of the Society to order every department perlect. We found in the new and convenient house, check rooms, where cloaks, shawls, bonnets; baskets, etc., may be deposited in charge of an attendant; a large, lighi clean, airy room, to be used as a ladies' waiting room; a long, roomy wash roomt excellently arranged with porcelain basins, supply and waste pipes for water, etc.; rooms on the second fl or to which ladles or children may retire in case of sickness; ladies' dressing room; rooms for reception of guests aad Important personages by the board of officers ; to say nothing of the spacious dining rooms, kitchens, cellars, pantries, etc. And then we found a large cistern located near the ladies' wash room, and fully supplied with force pumps, supply pipes, ' etc. The provisions lor all wants of lady visitors are of the moot ample and complete character, and reflect great credit on tbe originators ot tbe plans. The Superintendent's house will prove a feature, even after the Fair is over, as dur citizens may, by giving him notice at any time, visit the grounds in select company, or by pic-nic, and have a splendid dinner served them in the fine rooms of the house. DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES Ot all kinds are provided with a new, large and magnificent build ing, conven iently located in a central position. A wide center table occupies this tine, light. airy Hall, and on either side guard-rails are placed, behind which articles of every description may be placed for tbe best possible display. The doors of the building are securely locked, and exhibitors may rest assured of the entire safety of any arti cle placed within it on exhibition. The center table, guard-rails and shelving of this Hall may be easily removed at any time when the Fair is not in progress, leaving one ot the finest dancing floors ia the country. THE REFRESHMENT BOOTHS Are neat, ample in size, tasty, abundant, nicely located, and altogether attractive to the visitor. They are a marked improvement on tbe old, ugly, brown sheds of the past, and will give general satisfaction. fine art hall, Under the graceful hands of Mr. George Freeman, tbe accomplished architeet of the Superintendent's house, is rapidly assuming its accustomed engaging aspects, and will again prove the great attraction of the Fulr. A force of assistants are arrang ing pretty designs, and the moss-covered spreads and arches of the Art Hall, with its fountains and accompanying beauties, are already attracting attention. Colonel Innis. the active and faithful Su perintendent, was on the grounds with an eye to all things, and we came away convinced that the coming Fair is a certain success. Ths Police District Outrsge-ThsClty at tbe Mercy I Outlaws Tbe farce f fatrwlias; tbe AMstrlcta. There seems to be periodical seasons la the history of our municipal afftirs when, by all appearances, the leaders run wild, and without any regard to the actual demands and desires of the people, put meas ures into practice which cannot but be regarded as mere furtherances of some cherished private scheme, or open attacks upon established and satisfactorily working matters of governmental regulations. The latest phase of this periodical insanity is the order regulating the distribution ot the city police lorce in the new districts. Let us see what these districts are, and bow they are officered. Under the order of the Chairman of the Police Committee ia Council, the city is divided into sixteen districts, as follows : First District All territory west of Third street and south ot South Publio Lane. Officered by Bush and Beaahr. Second District AH territory west of Third street, from South Publio Line to Friend street. Officered by Domigan aud Remmy. Third District All territory west of Third street, from Friend to Town. Officered by Sarber aud Shuflin. Fourth District All territory west of Third street, from Town to Broad. Officered by Coflroth apd McEwea. Fifth District All territory west ot Third street, from Broad to North. Officered by Davis and Ryan. Sixth District All territory west of Third street and all north of North street. Officered by Hartley and Tralnor. ' These officers serve on duty each twelve hours, the first named officer going on at 13 midnight, and remaining nntii 12 o'clock noon, when he is relieved. So that it will be seen that all the vast territory of our city lying between Third street and the river ts guarded by but six men. AIT the territory lylDg between Third and Seventh streets is divided into six districts, and all the territory lying east of Seventh street is divided into three districi; these are known as "night districtss." All the territory west of the river, within the cor porate limits, forms one district- Now It is submitted, and the people are beginning to be clamorous for an explanation of this matter, that with our city dis tricted and officered in this manner, the officers cannot bestow that attention to the -lives and property of the people which circumstances require. What a farce to -xpect one man to police territory enough to occupy the faithful attention of three. In tbe event of emergencies, which fre- quently occur, where will tbe needy officer procure his assistance ? ' What will it avail ilm to sound his alarm ? . Should a brother ifflcer hear it, by tbe time he traverses the reat stretch of territory intervening, tbe law breaker with his confederate will have escaped. What protection will be furnished the houses and property of our people at one end of these Immense districts when the single officer is at the other end? These ire very important questions, which are agitating the minds of our people, and which demand full and thorough explanation.Warner Pardoned. The gambler Warner, who was convicted in the Cleveland courts a few months Bince, and received an eminently just sentence from Judge Paine co remain in prison six months, has, on the tertiticate of several physicians and a numerously signed petition to the Governor, been pardoned.

In the last seven months the reported accidents from tbe explosions of kerosene, in New York city, hare amounted to filty-five in number. Involving twenty-three deaths, eighteen serious injuries, twelve slight injuries, and a pecuniary loss in the aggregate of f 48,-485. A complete list, it is estimated, would add one-third to tbe numbers given above. The appointment of an Inspector of Kero sene Oil, it is contended, is absolutely nec essary, as well as the prohibition of the sale of dangerous burning fluids. Journalism. Samuel L. Clements, popularly known as "Mark Twain," has become editor of the Buffalo Express, and in bis salutatory address that humorous writer says: "I am simply going to do my plain, unpretending duty, when I cannot get out ot It. I shall work diligently and honestly and faithfully at all times and upon all occasions, when privation and want sball compel me to do it. I shall not make use of slang or vulgarity upon any occasion or under any circumstances, and shall ntver use profanity except la discussing he use re it and taxes. Indeed, upon second thought, I will not even use It then, for it Is unchristian, inelegant and degrading though to speak truly, I do ooC see bow house rent and taxes are going to be discussed worth a cent without it."

The one or two forward wheels, as the case may be, are intended to ease tbe carriage over a curb stone, and a very few of them know this. The others keep them raised, and when the rear wheels go oil the walk, they go down with a thump that very nearly throws tbe child out. We hope they will be instructed In this matter, for it is not only a pity, but a shame, to see children thumped about in such a manner. The Forest City Clcb and the Press Nine.

In pursuance of a notice served upon the Probate Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Clerk of Com mon Pleas Court, Alexander Thomas and Charles E. Harrison were brought before Judge Pugh yesterday at 2 o'clock P. M. These men were arrested on the 13th of last " month and brought before Mayor Meeker on a charge ot burglariously en tering the jewelry store of Gates & Har rington. Both of them waived an examination belore the Mayor, and were com mitted in default of bail. Several witnesses were examined, and every element tf the crime established except the ''breaking." The defendants1 at torney claimed that the transom was raised by Messrs. Gates & Harrington, and left raised, on the night of tbe alleged burglary. The State claims that defendants rt moved the stick which supported the transom, from the center to tbe edge; that with the stick in tbe center no one could enter, and that the removal of the stick was such a "breaking" or removal ol an obstruction as comes within the statute. The technical defense raised involves a nice point, and will be argued to day at 2 o'clock P. M. Thaksfers to Hockisq Valley Railroad Company.

Terrible Accident A Man Falls rROM the Roof of a Bcildcno Yesterday morning, while Mr. Jamen R. St. Clair was engaged in tlate-rooflng the large establishment of Messrs. Mlthoff. Dann & Co., near the .northwest wall of tbe Penitentiary, tbe derrick erected on tbe edge ot the roof, and upon which he was working, suddenly broke from its fastenings and tumbled to the ground, a distance ot forty-two feet, carrying Mr. St. Clair with It. The unfortunate man sus- i tained tearful injuries, consisting of a bid fracture of the left thigh bone near its articulation with the hip bones, and a se vere compound fracture of both bones of the left fore-arm, bosidea other severe bruises and contusions. Doctors Gay and Porter were at once summoned, who caused Mr. St. Clair to be carefully re' moved to bis residence, where his severe injuries were properly adjusted. HU injuries are of a paiutul and grave charac ter, but If is hoped that by the best care and attention be will fully recover. It appears that the derrick had been placed lu posl.loa on the edge of the roof and used for hoisting bundles of slate by hand. A small platform had been arranged from near tbe base of the derrick to tbe rise of the roof, and on this platform Mr. St- Clair was standing when the entire structure fell. It was determined yesterday morning to use horse-power In hoisting the bandies of slate, but unfortunately the matter of adding stronger braces to the derrick was overlooked. The first trial with the horse resulted as above given. Mr. St. Clair is a single man.about twenty- six years of age, and the son ot Mr. J. E. St. Clair, one ot our best citizens. THE C0UN1 Y , FUR GROUND:?. THEIR SPLENDID CONDITIO!. Notice of Marked Improvements. The "Tx-efcclaS-, 4so., cfao. We visited the County Fair Grounds yes- i terday morning, and were most agreeably ! disappointed to find them in splendid eon- ' dition in all respects, and so engaging in appearance as to warrant the belief that ' the coming Fair of the Agricultural So ciety will be tbe moat successful ol any yet arranged for the people. Improvements have been so general and complete that difficulty is experienced In reference to where a descriptive account should be gin. Entering tbe grounds from the Mont- gouiery street approach, we were fortu- j Date enough to jneet Mar8. Alexander and Lytle, who took u la charge and ' showed us ' THE BOSSES. A large number of these fine animals, whose glossy coats, sparkling eyes and clean limbs give evidence ot the best care . and attention, are already in the new ranges of fine 6tables ia tbe southwest , corner of tbe grounds, and are being daily exercised on the track, preparatory, to grand publio exhibitions during the Fair. Blooded stock of mark, owned by citizens of our own city and county, and those ot j adjoining counties, are there, and others 1 coming in daily. Tbe exhibition ot fine horses at the Fair will be the largest and best evei entered before. the track. The acknowledged best half-mile track ia the Uuioa, is ia superb condition, and challenges the admiration of all enthusiastic turfmen. We saw a number of our citizens, Messrs. Falling, B. Gwynne, Lamb, C. Neil and others among them, speeding their line animals on the track, and attract-ing a great deal of attention from the many casual visitors in attendance. We greatly misjudge the prominent points ot several noble animals, already in the stables, under care of Messrs. Alexander and Lytle, if they do not give a good account of themselves on the track at the Fair. THE SUFERINTENDZENT'S HOUSE, Built near the grand west entrance to the grounds, is a model of architectural beauty and comfort, suggesting, in the beauty of itsgotbic points and artistically arranged rooms and surroundings, a determination Lon the part ot the Board of Officers of the Society to order every department perlect. We found in the new and convenient house, check rooms, where cloaks, shawls, bonnets; baskets, etc., may be deposited in charge of an attendant; a large, lighi clean, airy room, to be used as a ladies' waiting room; a long, roomy wash roomt excellently arranged with porcelain basins, supply and waste pipes for water, etc.; rooms on the second fl or to which ladles or children may retire in case of sickness; ladies' dressing room; rooms for reception of guests aad Important personages by the board of officers ; to say nothing of the spacious dining rooms, kitchens, cellars, pantries, etc. And then we found a large cistern located near the ladies' wash room, and fully supplied with force pumps, supply pipes, ' etc. The provisions lor all wants of lady visitors are of the moot ample and complete character, and reflect great credit on tbe originators ot tbe plans. The Superintendent's house will prove a feature, even after the Fair is over, as dur citizens may, by giving him notice at any time, visit the grounds in select company, or by pic-nic, and have a splendid dinner served them in the fine rooms of the house. DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES Ot all kinds are provided with a new, large and magnificent build ing, conven iently located in a central position. A wide center table occupies this tine, light. airy Hall, and on either side guard-rails are placed, behind which articles of every description may be placed for tbe best possible display. The doors of the building are securely locked, and exhibitors may rest assured of the entire safety of any arti cle placed within it on exhibition. The center table, guard-rails and shelving of this Hall may be easily removed at any time when the Fair is not in progress, leaving one ot the finest dancing floors ia the country. THE REFRESHMENT BOOTHS Are neat, ample in size, tasty, abundant, nicely located, and altogether attractive to the visitor. They are a marked improvement on tbe old, ugly, brown sheds of the past, and will give general satisfaction. fine art hall, Under the graceful hands of Mr. George Freeman, tbe accomplished architeet of the Superintendent's house, is rapidly assuming its accustomed engaging aspects, and will again prove the great attraction of the Fulr. A force of assistants are arrang ing pretty designs, and the moss-covered spreads and arches of the Art Hall, with its fountains and accompanying beauties, are already attracting attention. Colonel Innis. the active and faithful Su perintendent, was on the grounds with an eye to all things, and we came away convinced that the coming Fair is a certain success. Ths Police District Outrsge-ThsClty at tbe Mercy I Outlaws Tbe farce f fatrwlias; tbe AMstrlcta. There seems to be periodical seasons la the history of our municipal afftirs when, by all appearances, the leaders run wild, and without any regard to the actual demands and desires of the people, put meas ures into practice which cannot but be regarded as mere furtherances of some cherished private scheme, or open attacks upon established and satisfactorily working matters of governmental regulations. The latest phase of this periodical insanity is the order regulating the distribution ot the city police lorce in the new districts. Let us see what these districts are, and bow they are officered. Under the order of the Chairman of the Police Committee ia Council, the city is divided into sixteen districts, as follows : First District All territory west of Third street and south ot South Publio Lane. Officered by Bush and Beaahr. Second District AH territory west of Third street, from South Publio Line to Friend street. Officered by Domigan aud Remmy. Third District All territory west of Third street, from Friend to Town. Officered by Sarber aud Shuflin. Fourth District All territory west of Third street, from Town to Broad. Officered by Coflroth apd McEwea. Fifth District All territory west ot Third street, from Broad to North. Officered by Davis and Ryan. Sixth District All territory west of Third street and all north of North street. Officered by Hartley and Tralnor. ' These officers serve on duty each twelve hours, the first named officer going on at 13 midnight, and remaining nntii 12 o'clock noon, when he is relieved. So that it will be seen that all the vast territory of our city lying between Third street and the river ts guarded by but six men. AIT the territory lylDg between Third and Seventh streets is divided into six districts, and all the territory lying east of Seventh street is divided into three districi; these are known as "night districtss." All the territory west of the river, within the cor porate limits, forms one district- Now It is submitted, and the people are beginning to be clamorous for an explanation of this matter, that with our city dis tricted and officered in this manner, the officers cannot bestow that attention to the -lives and property of the people which circumstances require. What a farce to -xpect one man to police territory enough to occupy the faithful attention of three. In tbe event of emergencies, which fre- quently occur, where will tbe needy officer procure his assistance ? ' What will it avail ilm to sound his alarm ? . Should a brother ifflcer hear it, by tbe time he traverses the reat stretch of territory intervening, tbe law breaker with his confederate will have escaped. What protection will be furnished the houses and property of our people at one end of these Immense districts when the single officer is at the other end? These ire very important questions, which are agitating the minds of our people, and which demand full and thorough explanation.Warner Pardoned. The gambler Warner, who was convicted in the Cleveland courts a few months Bince, and received an eminently just sentence from Judge Paine co remain in prison six months, has, on the tertiticate of several physicians and a numerously signed petition to the Governor, been pardoned. His health, says the Leader, for some time past has been rapid ly falling, and rather than have him die in Jail, he has been released. This does not, however, exempt him from the payment of his fine. The document following was received Monday from Gov. Hayes, and the prisoner was released : In the name snd by the anrhority of the State of Ohio, Rutherford B.
